Fw 190 population in North America
Thu May 05, 2011 12:37 pm
I know this has been discussed here before but can someone refresh my memory as to where all the Fw 190's are in North America. I'm familiar with the 2 at the Flying Heritage Collection, one in Dayton, one in Wash DC, and one in Kissimmee,Fl. Where are the others? Does the Texas Air Museum still have one or two?

Are you sure it wasn't a Flug Werk? If so, it wasn't an Fw 190!

Mike,
The Locator needs some revision. For example, the second Paul Allen machine is an Fw 190D, not a Ta 152.

It was a Flug Werk that was redone at Meier Motors in Germany before being shipped to the US.
see thread: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39455&hilit=FW190+Jerry+Yagen&start=30
Matthias Dorst says in the thread listed above that "Focke Wulf Fw190 A8/M D-FMFW: Its not a Flugwerk anymore ! As you can see, the fighter is registered as Focke Wulf Fw190 A8/M and "M" stands for MeierMotors"

You are actually both right.... it's listed with the FAA as a Ta-152, but I'd always been under the impression that it is actually a D-13. I always wondered why it was registered as a Ta-152 of course.
Cheers,

I wonder why it's registered with the FAA at all.
